After two early outings fraught with sound problems, we're finally inching closer to what we want the podcast to sound like.

This week, I talk to Max about Mike Huckabee's latest and greatest gaffes, dissension among state Republicans and H.U. Queer Press. Also, I visit with Times music editor John Tarpley, who provides a preview of tonight's Musicians Showcase finals. And in the last segment, I talk, via phone, about the latest in Hogland with Little Rock native Matt Besser, a wickedly funny comedian and die-hard Razorback fan.

I'm in the processing of adding the podcast to iTunes. I'll update the post with a link when it's live.

Gov. Asa Hutchinson apparently felt the burn from KARK's exclusive Tuesday night on his plans to cut state support of War Memorial Stadium in half beginning July 1, 2018. He has a so-far secret plan to make the stadium self-sustaining. We bet that doesn't include state support.

People hospitalized for a respiratory-related illness at UAMS were twice as likely to rent a property that at some point has been issued a mold-related violation notice from Little Rock's Code Enforcement Division when compared to a control population adjusted for demographic differences.

UAMS, pressed by financial problems for several years, told the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees today that it had a $1.5 billion operating budget that doesn't call for deficit spending.

Arkansas Court of Appeals Judge Bart Virden of Morrilton, who narrowly survived attack ads by an outside partisan group supporting his opponent for re-election to a nonpartisan seat, doesn't intend to let the matter drop.

Enjoy these photos from today's dedication and re-installation of a new Ten Commandments monument. The first iteration of the monument was installed last June but destroyed within the next 24 hours when it was rammed by a man in a Dodge Dart.
